pose of the Criminal business of the

therefore it is ordered that a special
Jury Term of said Court, and for said
Parish, be and is hereby called, and be
convened on the fourth a. Monday of
August next, the
2:.,nd day Of said Month, A. ID, 1897.
1t is further ordered, that the Jury
Commission in and for said Parish be
summoned, and that they shall draw
according to law, jury for three weeks
of said term-the jury for the LIST week
TO include names sufficient for Grand
and Petit Jury as the law requires; and

uuO,yed the story.

In an interview lately published,
Colonel Robert n. Scott, of the War
Records Office, told how the frozen
truth of pen and ink took the found
alton out from under a war memory.
1t reads as follows:
LAS you go through the great mass
of documents do you find many things
that are different from currently re-
ported statements of events?"
"Many such things occur all the
while. 1t is astonishing how treacher-
GUS ones memory is when applied to
events that occurred twenty or twenty
five years ago. This is seen in the
current discussions that are going for
ward all the while ia the periodicals.
Men unconsciouSly add a little here
and subtract a little there and forget
good deal more, and finally, the
thing related bears no sort of SEM
blance to the real thing that happened.
A good illustration of this occurred
only a few days ago. An officer of
veracity and candor was relating the
part his regiment took in the battle of
Shiloh. When he had finished l in
formed him that his regiment was not
in the battle of Shiloh at all. What,
not in the battle Of Shiloh?' he ejGcu-
lated. You don't mean to say that,
do your Il certainly do l replied.
well, l should like to know your rea-
son for making that statement said
he. My reason for making it is your
own dispatch, written three days after
the battle, in which you say your regi
ment was not in the BATTLE said /.
And L showed him the dispatch. He
adjusted his spectacles, read it over
Geveral times, and admitted his error.
His story was spoiled, but history was
indicated.

Gould: dear Sir:-The inclosed ca

FOR THE LADIES.
Novelties in Jewelry.

It takes $28,0O0,000 to keep our
women in silk every year.
Clusters in colored combination lead
the fall style in ladies rings.
1t is predicted that ruby and emerald
will be the favorite gems this season.
Chaste designs in hairpins decorated
with diamonds and rubies are very
popular.
A very handsome and fashionable
ring is a good size turquois surrounded
with fine brilliantS.
A bracelet with a semi-circle of
diamonds or hyacinths imbedded in it
leads among the fashionables.
A band of inverted coffee beans in
pink, yellow, and green gold and
platina constitutes one OF the most
dainty bracelets to be found.
It adds to the beauty of the decided
yellow or fancy-colored diamonds
mounted in brilliantS to have the
shank set with brilliants.
a choice style Of bracelet is COM
posed of square checks of pink and
yellow gold and platina ornamented
with rubies and diamonds.
One of the prettiest lace pins of the
season is white enamel representing a
tea rose, with diamond centre in old
gold setting.
In ladies rings the latest fad is to
wear the four combination stones on
the same finger. They are set in four
rings, alternately ruby, sapphire,
diamond, and emerald.
In gentlemen's rings are seen a ruby
set in two diamonds, a sapphire SCI in
two diamonds, cat's-eye set in two
diamonds. A snake with diamond
and sapphire setting, and monogram
rings will be very much worn.

RIvaiInE the Rainbow.

Fashion is now displaying itself at
the various summer resorts where
grand dress parades are daily and
night. in order. AS regards cOlors,
taste is not just at present very rad
ical. Red, primrose yellow, Areen in
a score of tones, and peachb!Ow pink
are favored colors in monochromes
The blended hues are past descrip-
ton. A dress in these days of prog
ress and studies Of the art of unique
gowning can be composed literally of
''all the colorS of the rainbow and
yet be pronounced an artistic success.
A very beautiful new shade of hello
trope is noted in elegant dress. This
is usually a shade most universally
trying. This particular tint is exqui-
site, but few should venture u adopt
it. A heliotrope toilet lately worn

ny MOTHER'B GRAVE.

My mem'ry wanders far tonight,
Across the ocean wave,
To scenes of early childhood's years
And to my mothers grave.
Oft in my dreams stand beside
Her grave beneath the tree,
And see her we'll remembered form,
More dear than all to me.

Where thou art resting, love;
The wide, deep ocean rolls between
But can look above.
Oh! mother, may the summer breeze
Blow gently DER thy tomb,
And all the flowers of early spring
Fling forth their fragrant bloom.
Above thy grave may bright-winged birds
Send forth their clear notes strong
Till dale and hill re-echO far
With trill and pleasant song.
How swiftly time has passed away!
His STAMP is on my brow;
Yet, mother, all thy early love
And prayers are cherished now.
With deepest longings have yearned
To see thy face once more
To hold thy hand, to kiss thy brow:
Alas! those joys are DER.
And yet the memory of thy prayers,
Like beacons DER the sea,
Still lights for me the narrow path
That leads to Heaven and thee.

Battle OF the Elk.

In the winter of 1880, while scout
ing over in the Powder river country,
l came upon the skeletons Of two very
large elk, lying backs down, with their
horns inextricably fastened together.
These two had been, no doubt, engag-
ed in deadly combat, had fallen with
out ever being able to get up again,
and no doubt died the horrible death
of starvation. A hunter told the
writer that he had once witnessed
terrific fight between two giant blue
elk over in the Big Horn mountains.
While passing through the woods he
heard the most awful believing and
bawling imaginable, and carefully ap-
preaching the scene of conflict ian
open space in the forest perhaps two
acres in extent) he beheld the remark
able spectacle of two males rushing
and tearing about, heads down, with
horns so locked that he was afterWard
unable to separate them. These had
lecOme hooked together early in the
fight, and the two fairly tore up the
forest in their struggle for the mastery.
The shrubs and bushes were trampled
down, small saplings uprooted or bent
over, and occasionally they would
crush up against some big tree that
would have smashed the ribs of any
ordinary animal. After while one Of
them went to grass and dragged the
other down with him. Neither was
able to rise afterward, but on the
ground thev continued to struggle
with force that surely ought to have
dragged their horns out by the roots
or torn their heads off. When the
combatants became quiet the hunter
carefully approached the pair and put
a knife in the heart of each, thus saw
ing them from miserable and horri-
bic death, not to speak OF the ton of
fine meat he obtained from the car

a Scandal At West Point.

A few weeks ago the wife of Lieut..
Totten, Of the Fourth Artillery, who
is stationed at West Point, and Lieut..
Darr, also on duty at West Point,
quilted that place together and under
circumstances that led to the belief
that they have elOped. Mrs. Totten
took her child with her, and Lieut..
barr sent his resignation to the War
Department. After careful investl-
departure of Lieut.. Darr and Mrs. Tot
ten was printed. Mrs. Totten's faith
tr, who is a lawyer of New York City,
in published card denied the posi-
bility of scandal of this kind, and
the authorities at West Point were
disposed to lend color to the denial.
But the elopement is now admitted.
A special dispatch from Washington
says that official information received
at the War Department makes it GER
tain that Lieut.. Darr and Mrs. Tot
ten elOped and are now on their way
to South America. DarrS father, who
is very wealthy resident of Califor-
MIA, has been investigating the mat
ter, and has learned that his son has
eloped. He urged the War Depart
ment not to accept the resignation,
OH the ground that his son was GER
tainly insane when he thus disgraced
himself. On the receipt Of this request
the War Department caused an inves-
tigation to be made, and learned
enough to satisfy it that the elope-
ment took place as reported. The re-
quest to revoke Darr's resignation
was therefore refused.
